It is one thing to say we need to be more conscious of what behaviour points to a potentially bad mate. And another to blame the victim. The line of responsibility needs to be expounded upon clearer imo. Because women & men are responsible for actions they take. But the consequences and outcomes aren't guaranteed or deserved (in this case, abuse isn't guaranteed when someone appears Machiavellian/dark triad).

I see it like drunk driving. You are responsible for a crash because it is to be expected that you wont drive well intoxicated. But the alcohol also has autonomy in this situation. I see your point. But also even if the alcohol has autonomy, when the bottle clearly has dark triad printed on it you take a risk. This is pretty complicated. 

I think responsibility comes down to who has power. And women do have a lot of choosing power, so thats their part of the responsibility.

Moreover, men also pick toxic women. Beauty blinds us to red flags. Like women, men need to become aware of their bias to avoid abuse from women. 

Both sexes do the same thing in different domains. 

Oh yeah 9_9

If you read my post carefully, I am not disagreeing with the argument in question. Merely pointing out the wordying could be cleaner.

One doesn't need to reduce their own integrity in this way, as it isn't the only way to attract women. In fact - you will avoid attracting a women with attachment issues and pathologies if you do avoid this. 

Not saying there aren't a subset of women who are attracted to dark triad traits. 

Yeah its true that dark triad traits attract not the highest quality girls but also some kind of power display is required for basically every girl. I dont know a girl who is attracted to Mr. Nice Guy who wouldnt hurt a fly. I hope I am proven wrong some day though. This is a deep struggle of being a men btw. , keep up with the bad men in power (confidence, competence) but then not use that power in a bad way. 

This is interesting.

Responsibility is not the same as blame. You could be blameless and still be responsible. Americans are responsible for Trump even if they didn't vote for him. If women have a responsibility for not falling for monsters than that's just their dharma. It's not hard at all to find beautiful women hanging out with scum.

In terms of Women needing to be responsible for being attracted to abusive and corrupt men, this could be deeply problematic. When dealing with someone like a psychopath or a serial rapist who puts on a convincing persona with many layers of lies that are difficult to uncover while tailoring his psychological strategies to target a woman's vulnerabilities, it is hard to blame women for being attracted to corrupt and abusive men. In some cases women go on a date with a man who seems completely normal. They then go to his place where a gang then pulls a gun on her, kidnaps her, rapes her, and possibly kills her. I know women who have been in situations like these and it is hard to blame them for being tricked by organized criminals of sex traffickers who threaten to stick a coat hanger inside of you if you don't let them gang rape you. Sadistic offenders are the rarest typology in sex offenders, but it is also genuinely difficult to distinguish a seemingly normal man or woman from gang members involved in organized criminal activities planning to set you up and jump you. In terms of women being partially responsible, many organized criminals use women for specific roles such as targeting caregiving roles or making people feel at ease or lower their guard while they are kidnapping children to sell them to rapists while posing as relatives. There are documented cases and I have witnessed this behavior.

This happens a lot to women when men pretend to be someone they are not until the woman falls in love with them or gets married, and then they show their true nature.

This is why it's important for women to develop their intuition.

Patriarchy has socialized women to suppress their intuition and gut instincts so they would be more compliant with abusive behavior and mistreatment.

Still, men should do better and be aware of the predatory behaviors they were socialized into, such as coercing women into sex, which is part of the rape culture that is so deeply ingrained in our society.

Coercing women into sex is part of it, and many "normal" men do that.

Just because you have these psychic powers and abilities, it doesn't mean you're any less of a human than anyone else. There are people who are fast, people who are book smart and people with strong body odor. Psychic powers are just like that. -Reigen, Mob Psycho 100

Caliban and The Witch. Great book where you can find the references for all this Woman is saying in this Video. 

This is on my reading list 😊
